We are seeking a Clinical Psychologist to provide assessment and targeted treatment services within rehabilitation programs to address psychosocial, cognitive, and emotional barriers impacting recovery and return-to-work with a primary focus on WSIB-funded return-to-work rehabilitation.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct psychological assessments related to workplace injury and disability
  • Treatment focus on:
    • Pain-related distress and chronic pain behaviours
    • Anxiety, depression, adjustment, and trauma responses
    • Fear-avoidance, catastrophizing, and reduced self-efficacy
    • Work readiness, cognitive demands, and functional tolerance
• Identify psychosocial barriers impacting recovery and RTW
• Deliver short-term, evidence-based interventions (CBT, ACT, pain-focused therapy)
• Support functional restoration and RTW readiness
• Participate in interdisciplinary case conferences
• Prepare clear, timely WSIB-compliant clinical reports

What’s Required

• PhD or PsyD in Clinical Psychology
• Registered with The College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (CPBAO)
• Experience in WSIB, occupational rehab, disability, or chronic pain preferred

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• Paid vacation plus wellness days
• Annual education allowance to support your growth
• Clear path for career advancement within a growing healthcare group
• A work culture built on compassion, teamwork, and clinical excellence

This role matters: This work directly reduces delayed recovery, stalled claims, and failed RTW outcomes by addressing the psychological factors that physical rehab alone cannot resolve— and you will thrive in the process.
